Pinewood Elementary School

Q: Is Pinewood Elementary School a good school?

Pinewood Elementary School ranks 969 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Pinewood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Mims, Florida, serving 521 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Brevard District, which is ranked 22 out of 68 districts in the state.

Pinewood Elementary stands out for its high percentage of white students (89.83%) compared to nearby schools, as well as its generally strong academic performance, outpacing the Brevard District and Florida state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency. However, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency (39%) is significantly lower than the district (58%) and state (53%) averages. Additionally, Pinewood has experienced a notable increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.1% in 2019-2020 to 22.4% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state and district averages.

While Pinewood Elementary maintains a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has declined from 376 out of 2,064 Florida elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 969 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024, suggesting that other schools may be improving at a faster rate. Compared to nearby schools, Pinewood generally outperforms, but South Lake Elementary has significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Pinewood (45.34% to 53.74%) also suggests the school serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, which may impact academic performance and other factors.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
